That is my Mother, Rukia Starkow Akchurin,fourth from the left with the very stylish hat on. In front of her is her younger brother, Mahmut Starkow, my Uncle. To the right is my Great Aunt, Maksura Altis Akchurin and to her right is my Aunt Rabiye, who passed away when she was only 19 or 20. I will have to share this with my sister, Ashraf, who was born in Kobe in 1938 and came to the US in 1940. Perhaps she can identify others. Feel free to contact me, nevinrukia@aol.com

How excellent that you were able to help us identify some of these people.
Thank you and we have MANY more photos in our "Old Japanese Tatar photos" collection and will no doubt post many more.
